Complete In Him
The Believer is IN Christ
A. Baptized INTO Christ
1. I Cor. 12:13 – Spirit baptism – the believer is baptized INTO Christ (Body) at the moment of saving faith.
a. Spirit baptism places us IN Christ…
b. We are taken OUT OF Adam and placed IN Christ.
c. If you are born again, you are IN Christ… IN His Body…
2. Spirit baptism (and thus being IN Christ) is UNIQUE to believers of this dispensation.
a. Being in His Body means that we have been UNITED to Christ in a unique way… part of this new organism: The Body of Christ.
b. Moses was not part of the Body. Neither was David or Jeremiah… godly and saved as they were.
c. Old Testament saints were part of a different program than the New Testament church.
d. Paul stated that this wonderful truth was a MYSTERY in Old Testament times… (Ephesians deals with this aspect of the mystery).
3. It is true of EVERY believer in this age.
a. "We are ALL baptized"—even the carnal Corinthians!
b. This is God's work, not ours.
c. This is our position which has nothing to do with the condition of our spiritual lives. Paul dealt with sin problems and immaturity problems among the Corinthians; nevertheless, they were ALL baptized into Christ.
d. Being in Christ is something EVERY believer shares in common… young, old, mature, immature, spiritual, or carnal.
e. If you are born again in this age, you are part of the Body of Christ.
4. Notice in vs.12 that Paul uses the word Christ as the equivalent of Body.
a. The human body is one with many members: so also is Christ… or Christ's Body.
b. To be in Christ's body = to be in Christ, for it is HIS Body.
B. Identified with Christ
1. Paul states that we have been identified with Christ in His Death and Resurrection (Col. 2:12)
2. Vs.11 – IN WHOM = in Christ, the following things are true, namely, we died and were buried, and were raised up again.
3. This is true because God sees us IN CHRIST… identified with Him… members of His Body.
4. Hence, in God's mind when Christ died, we died. When Christ rose again, we rose again.
5. Our identification with Him changes everything.
a. We died to sin, self, and to the world.
b. We rose into heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
• A New Sphere
• A New Position
• God sees us as believers IN Christ… and IN heavenly places already!
• Positionally, we have been RAISED already.
• We will develop this theme more in vs.11-13.
6. But the main point to keep in mind as we consider vs.10 is what it means to be IN Christ.
a. By faith we have been identified with Christ in His death and resurrection. We are thus NEW creatures in Christ. Old things have passed away… all things are become new.
b. By Spirit Baptism, we have been placed IN Christ… members of this NEW MAN… the BODY of Christ… the church.
c. This means we are UNITED to Christ in a unique way…
d. We are related to Christ in a CLOSER and DEEPER way than that of Old Testament saints… as godly as many of them were.
e. We have a greater position in Christ… greater privileges.
f. They were forbidden to enter into the holy place. We are able (by faith) to enter into the very HOLY of Holies!
g. And that of course is because of the fact that our consciences have been eternally PURGED because the infinitely superior VALUE of the precious blood of Christ as opposed to the blood of bulls and goats before Calvary.
h. We are IN CHRIST… and that is unique, glorious, and holy privilege unimaginable to saints in OT times…
The Christ the Believer is IN
A. Context
1. Head of the Old Creation – Creator/Sustainer (1:16-17)
2. Head of the New Creation (1:20-21)
3. All Fullness of the Godhead (1:19; 2:9)
4. Head of All Principalities and Powers (2:10c)
B. Paul Emphasizes the PERSON of Christ.
1. He is Savior, Redeemer, (vs. 14) the image of God (vs. 15); Creator and sustainer of the universe (vs. 16-17); Firstborn of the resurrection and Head of the Body (vs. 18); Reconciler (vs. 20-21); the Theme of the Mystery of God (vs. 1:27).
2. All the fullness of the Godhead dwells permanently in Christ.
3. He is HEAD of all the spirit realm (2:10c).
4. THIS is the Christ of the Bible.
a. He is NOT one of millions of emanations from a deity as the false teachers were declaring.
b. He is not an impure, polluted form of deity.
c. He is not a relatively powerful spirit being.
d. He is Creator of and Head over all principality and power!
e. Paul wants the Colossians (and us!) to KNOW who Christ is. The better we know Him, the less likely we will be deceived by the vain deceit of those who are teaching Another Jesus!
5. But there is another reason for this revelation of who Christ is.
a. Paul wants us to know that we are IN Christ.
b. But he also wants us to know WHO IT IS we are in!
c. Our concept of who God is will determine, to a large degree, our progress and growth as a believer… or a lack thereof.
d. Our position in Christ… and KNOWING that position will have a tremendous effect in our daily lives… and the kind of FRUIT borne by us.
e. A branch grafted into a wild vine will produce wild, sour grapes.
f. A branch grafted into THE VINE… the Christ of the Bible… will produce good fruit… the fruit of the Spirit… genuine Christlike character.
6. All believers are IN Christ. And it matters intensely what our concept is of the Person in whom we have been placed.
a. A weak, impotent, little god… a polluted and diluted deity… a counterfeit deity of man's vain imagination is not a very solid foundation upon which to rest.
b. But the Christ described in Col. 1-2 IS a solid foundation… a Vine that will produce good fruit… an unending source of all the spiritual growth, strength, and nutrition we could ever need… in whatever situation we find ourselves.
c. We are complete in Christ… and don't ever forget WHO HE IS! He is all we need.
The Believer is COMPLETE IN Christ
A. Complete Defined
1. Definition:
a. Strong's: to make full, to fill up, i.e., to fill to the full. 1ato cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally.
b. This is a form of the term used in vs. 9 – "fullness."
2. Tense: perfect passive participle
a. Perfect speaks of past completed action, with present, continuing results.
• The Colossian believers were completed at some point in the past (at salvation) and remain in that settled state to the present.
• They are STILL complete in Christ. That will never change.
• The act of completion is NOT ongoing. That was finished the moment the believer puts his faith in Christ… at the moment of conversion.
• But the result of being completed lasts forever.
b. Passive – indicates that the action of completing was performed by an outside source…
• That outside source is GOD.
• The act of completing the believer is GOD's work… for us, not our work for God. That's why the results are lasting!
• At the moment of saving faith, God COMPLETES the believer… he is thus complete in Christ… and he STANDS complete in Christ.
• That is the position of EVERY true believer: COMPLETE!
B. Complete Illustrated (baby with all his body parts)
1. But let's not get the concept of being COMPLETE confused with perfection or maturity.
a. We spent much time in our study of Hebrews looking at the concept of perfection… meaning maturity.
b. NOT every believer is perfect or mature. We need to be URGED on to perfection.
c. Even Paul recognized that he had not achieved perfect Christlikeness in his earthly sojourn. None of us have.
d. Perfection is Christlikeness… and with that as our standard, we ALL have a LONG way to go.
e. Every believer is complete in Christ… (Col. 2:10 = ye = ALL of the "saints" in Colossae, according to 1:2).
f. Every believer is complete in Christ, but NOT every believer is MATURE (perfect) in his faith.
2. We might liken being COMPLETE in Christ to a healthy baby being born.
a. In a sense, that healthy baby is COMPLETE at birth.
b. A baby is born COMPLETE—a complete person.
• He has a soul, spirit, body.
• Intellect; emotion; will.
• 2 arms; 2 legs; 2 eyes; one nose; etc…
• Right from birth, he is endowed… blessed with ALL of the physical faculties he will ever get.
• He is born complete in that sense. He has all of his body parts. He isn't going to sprout any more arms or legs later—hopefully!
c. When a person is born again, he too is born complete.
• That new believer is given a nature… a new heart… a new will… a new mind… (new capacities—not new organs!)
• Right from birth, he is already endowed… or blessed with ALL the spiritual blessings we will ever get… all we will ever need!
• That new believer is the recipient of so MANY things right from birth… and he will spend many years to come LEARNING what they are… and learning to experience them to the fullest as God intended!
• He has been given a spiritual gift; a capacity to function in the Body of Christ;
• Just as the newborn baby is born physically complete, so too the new believer in Christ is born spiritually complete.
• At birth we are complete. But at birth we are NOT mature. We need to grow up.
3. Spiritual growth in a believer is, in a sense, like the physical growth of a child.
a. The baby is born with all of his body parts at birth. What he is born with is all he gets.
b. But after being born, that newborn needs to grow, mature, and develop the faculties he already has. (mind; heart; body)
c. So too with the believer… we are complete at the moment of the new birth… having been blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in Christ!
• At the moment of saving faith, we receive a new nature; new mind; new heart; new capacity of will.
• We are complete in that we already possess all the spiritual faculties we will ever get… but we are to DEVELOP those faculties… to grow up… progress spiritually… "let us go on to perfection!"
d. The baby grows (not by gaining new body parts) but by means of nutrition and exercise.
• We grow through feeding on Christ and His Word… and exercising ourselves unto godliness.
e. The baby is complete at birth—but faces a long period of growth.
• So too the believer in Christ!
• We are complete, but that does not mean that there is no room for growth!
4. I hope nobody gets the idea from this passage that salvation is the END of the process!
a. No! Salvation or the new birth is but the BEGINNING of a long, extended process of growth and maturity towards Christlikeness.
b. Phil. 3:12 – Paul had not yet attained perfection… but he kept following after it as his goal in life: to be more like his Savior! We are NEVER complete in that sense.
c. There is ALWAYS room for more spiritual growth…
d. We are complete in the sense that we have all the spiritual faculties we will ever get—BUT we are NOT complete in our DEVELOPMENT of and USE of those faculties!
e. EX: We may have the gift of exhortation. While we have the complete gift… it is not yet full grown! The more you learn God's Word, the better exhorter you will be!
f. You may have the gift of teaching. God has already made you what you are. He created you in Christ to FIT into the body in a unique position. But you have that complete gift in SEED form. It needs to grow… develop… mature!
g. We have the mind of Christ. The capacity to THINK godly thoughts is in our possession already. We have the COMPLETE capacity… nothing is lacking. But we do NOT continually THINK like Christ. There is always room for improvement in our thought lives.
h. We have a new heart in Christ… a new capacity to LOVE as Christ loved us. God gave us all a COMPLETE new heart. The entire capacity to LOVE as Christ loved us is in our possession… but that capacity needs to be exercised… utilized… developed… applied.
5. Summary of the illustration: The baby is born COMPLETE with all of his physical faculties right from birth.
a. As believers, we too are born COMPLETE in Christ—in possession of ALL we need for life and godliness… already blessed with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places… already gifted to function in the body.
b. We are not as the charismatics would have us believe in need of MORE blessings… so that we SEEK some new gift… or some new blessing. God wants us to walk by faith and BELIEVE that we have already received our spiritual gifts and blessings in Christ!
c. Instead, God wants us to LEARN about the blessings we already have… and then put them into practice… grow… develop…
d. Become a BETTER preacher, Sunday school teacher, exhorter, giver, helper, elder, deacon, better greeter, better evangelist…
e. Don't ever be satisfied with the status quo.
f. We have a personal RESPONSIBILITY in spiritual growth… to strive… to run the race… to continually come to the throne of grace… to read God's Word… pray… fellowship and worship with the saints… listen to preaching and teaching of the Word.
g. Being complete in Christ does NOT mean we sit on a rocking chair.
h. We are complete IN CHRIST. God placed us in the perfect and complete environment… where we have ALL we need.
i. Our position in Christ is perfect—because it was God's Work. But our condition is far from perfect… and that requires effort on our part… the effort of FAITH… giving all diligence to enter into His rest!
j. By faith ABIDE in our complete position in Christ and growth WILL take place!
C. IN Christ We Share in Christ's Fullness
1. We share in HIS fullness (pleroma).
a. Col. 2:10c – Head over all principality and power: We share in His exaltation over the angelic realm.
• As men, IN ADAM, we were made lower than the angels… even Adam before his sin!
• But IN CHRIST, we are raised up higher than the angels!
• Adam and Eve were co-regents over the earth. But now that we are raised up in Christ, we are citizens of heaven!
• We gained far more IN Christ than we had in Adam.
b. We are IN HIM and thus we are partakers of the Divine nature. (II Pet. 1:4)
• Partaker: koinonon = a partner, associate, comrade, companion; fellowship
• We are not possessors of the divine nature, but we SHARE or fellowship with Christ in HIS fullness.
• As the branch shares in all the wealth of the Vine, we share in all the fullness of divine qualities in Christ…
• The fullness of God which we as believers share does NOT consist of the divine essence (divine attributes). Divine attributes (omniscience, omnipotence, etc) are possessed exclusively by God Himself and none other.
• But we can and do share in God's qualities such as His grace, holiness, righteousness, wisdom, strength.
• Because we are IN Christ, we benefit from all that is in Him… the divine nature… the fullness that is HIS alone.
c. And of his FULLNESS have all we received, and grace for grace. (John 1:16)
• Christ is full of the fullness of God.
• We do not possess the fullness of God, but we DO receive from His fullness!
• He is full of power, holiness, mercy, truth, purity, love, and grace.
• As we abide in Him, we RECEIVE what He is and what He has… we participate in all He possesses.
• Heb. 4:16 – He bestows grace to help in time of need… power for daily living… strength and grace for the trials…
d. We share of His FULLNESS IN THE BODY of which He is the Head and LIFE. (1:18)
• Jesus used the illustration of the branch benefiting from being IN the Vine.
• In the epistles Paul speaks of the believer benefiting from being IN the Body of Christ…
• A body in which Christ LIVES! His life flows to every part… He directs the Body… He guides the Body by His indwelling Spirit… He empowers the Body and every member in particular.
e. Eph. 3:19 – God's purpose for the believer is that we might be filled (eis) UNTO the fullness of God. That is our goal.
• The King James Version makes it sound like the believer can be filled with the fullness of the Godhead just AS Christ is.
• The believer certainly does not POSSESS the fullness of the Godhead in that sense.
• The preposition (eis) is not with but UNTO… as a goal.
iv. The goal of the believer is to be FILLED UNTO the fullness of God. That divine fullness is the unlimited resource from which we draw… grace after grace… all the spiritual resources we could ever need.
• Becoming more like Christ is our goal…
• God's purpose is that we might be filled more and more, not with deity… but with God's power, God's mercy, God's holiness, God's character…
• Every member of the Body has complete, unrestricted access to the fullness of the Godhead through our Head, Jesus Christ.
• Positionally, the believer is complete or FULL in Christ… but practically, we have a long way to go. Hence, we are to be filled UNTO (eis) the fullness of God… appropriating Godly qualities in our lives by faith…
• Moment by moment as the need arises… the grace and strength is there… the fullness!
f. Eph. 1:23 – the Body is full of Christ – the One who fills it.
• And Christ is full of the fullness of the Godhead.
• Hence, the Body is full of GOD Himself… His power, grace, holiness, mercy, truth, righteousness, love, etc.
• God sees the Body as perfectly supplied with and FILLED with the fullness of God…
• There is unlimited potential in the Body of Christ… we are thus ABLE to walk in newness of life… if we will reckon self to be dead and alive unto God.
• Even this little assembly… we all have access to the fullness of the Godhead… IF we will be constantly looking unto Jesus… yielded to His Spirit… submitted to His yoke… dead to sin, self, the law, and the world… and alive unto God and His will!
• But what great things God can accomplish THROUGH a yielded Body… which becomes but a vehicle for the fullness of the Godhead…
• So you're facing some struggles? Going through a difficult time? At the end of your resources?
• Well there's good news. We are COMPLETE in Christ. We have continual access to grace sufficient, to all the strength and wisdom we could ever need.
• We have access to the FULLNESS of the Godhead … because we are in Christ… the One who possesses that fullness and makes it all available to us by faith.
2. We are in Christ and share in His fullness (pleroma).
a. Christ is sufficient. Thus, we do NOT need any supplementary sources of grace or power to live the Christian life.
b. He is all we need. What more could we need when we have ALL the fullness of the Godhead in Christ… and we are partakers of Him?!
c. Vincent says; "Not, ye are made full in Him, but ye are in Him, made full."
d. Our fullness comes from our position. In Him dwells the fullness; being in Him, ye are filled. We are in a sphere of fullness… and hence, we are filled…
e. Lightfoot wrote: "your fulness comes from His fulness; His pleroma (πληρωμα) (fulness) is transfused into you by virtue of your incorporation in Him."
f. And of what fullness do we share? How are we FULL or COMPLETE in Christ?
• The full, complete power of the resurrection is ours.
• Completed Salvation (justified; sanctified; reconciled; redeemed; regenerated).
• Completely accepted in the Beloved! (Eph. 1:6)
• Possessors of "all we need for life and godliness."
• Full, complete and continual access to His grace, holiness, love, purity, righteousness…
• Complete Security in His hands…
• The Fullness of "Christ in us"—the hope of glory.
g. Because we are complete, we are NOT to be SEEKING for a new experience… or new blessings… or some new religious fad… or something "else" to make us complete… or to bring fulfillment.
• Rather, God wants us to seek more of CHRIST…
• Seek to experience more of what we already possess… We are complete.
• LEARN more about who Christ is… He lives in us. We are complete. Don't seek something else. Seek a closer and deeper relationship to the One we already possess!
• LEARN more about what we possess in Him… our spiritual blessings… our heavenly position… our inheritance in Him… our capacities to serve Him… the power available to live for Him…
h. A wonderful thing happens when that is our focus… when we take our attention away from self and our earthly condition and focus on Christ and our position in Him.
• As we BEHOLD His glory, we are transformed into that same image!
• As we CONCENTRATE on Christ, the things of earth grow strangely dim… including our daily struggles and trials.
• As we are LOOKING unto Jesus, we are ABLE to walk in newness of life… and not just walk, but RUN the race set before us!
• O that we might learn not to focus so much attention on our earthly condition… and all the things we LACK down here… and would learn to focus on our position in Christ—and how COMPLETE we are in Him.
• Spiritual transformation will occur!
• Problems don't disappear, but we are empowered with the FULLNESS of God to face them… and to do so—not stoically and grim faced, but with patience, longsuffering, and joyfulness!
• We ARE complete in Christ. By faith we can actually EXPERIENCE that completeness down here on earth!
• Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for…
• Faith enables us to BE what we ARE in Christ… redeemed… saints… heavenly… holy… sanctified…
• Faith will, over time, lift up the lowly, struggling, wretched condition of our daily lives… and make it more like our glorious position in Him: COMPLETE in Him!
i. The believer who is partaking in the fullness of Christ is not going to be attracted to "Another Jesus" or false teaching which is but chaff.
• The one who tastes and sees that the Lord is good isn't going to be seeking after the vain philosophies of men, the empty traditions of men, or the rudiments of the world.
• He will be SATISFIED with Christ His Savior.
• Are you seeking elsewhere for satisfaction in life? (money; sex; prestige; material things)
• IF we are filled with the fullness of God, there is no room for that empty chaff… no desire for anything else.
• WE need to be feasting upon Christ, the BREAD of life. He alone can satisfy the needs of the human breast.
• We are COMPLETE in Him. DO you believe what God said?
» Then you are NOT complete in Christ.
» You are not in Christ…
» You are still in Adam… in sin… and in condemnation.
» God has one message for you: TODAY is the day of salvation!
» BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved.

Benary's Jennifer Calhoun: How We Can Make Plants Essential To Millennials' Lives
I see one main issue facing our industry in getting more people to buy plants — we assume that the way we used to sell plants is the way millennials will want to buy them. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We sell plants in small packs that you plant in a hole in your garden, with a generic label that says "blooms all season." Millennials don't have gardens, so they want a plant they can put on their fourth floor apartment balcony, or better yet on a shelf in their living room near a window. We give them too little information to help them be successful under those circumstances. But what we don't realize is that if the plant dies, they feel personally responsible for killing another living thing which is so painful that they would prefer not to take the chance a second time. If we sold larger plants and gave easy to understand instructions that can be photographed, we all would probably have much better luck.
Also, as an industry, we don't make plants sexy. We talk about botanical names, and strange numbers and chemical symbols in fertilizer and complicated ways to amend the soil.
We don't talk about having fun with plants, and the joy you and your kids will have growing something from seed. Millennials want experiences!!
They want to name their plant, plant it in a fun DIY container and take a selfie with it that they can share on Instagram. They want to use it in cooking and crafts and know it's "back story" so they can post it on Pintrest.
Millennials love DIY projects but are only willing to invest up to a half hour. Then the project must be done and ready to post. Remember those packs we had in the garden center? They probably would have sold better if we had a simple DIY container kit next to it.
We assume that container plants or even mixed containers have to have flowers. Many millennials like green plants. They appreciate the interesting textures and forms of foliage plants. Forget those ugly, black, one-gallon pots. We shouldn't be afraid to plant some ornamental grasses or succulents in a nice, high-end pot.
Don't assume that schools are teaching kids about plants and that someday they will just appear at your garden center eager to buy something. There are a lot of exciting new technologies stealing kids' attention these days. If you want them to come, you need to entice them with activities. Remember, where kids go, their parents (and their wallets) follow.
This is exactly why we created the Do It BIG magazine (and have one for pansies in the works). See attached. It gives hands-on, fun activities to get people interacting with their plants. We hope it helps retailers relate to their customers as well.
Calhoun is North American Marketing Specialist for Benary.

Patriots RB Rex Burkhead returns to practiceSunday, August 19, 2018, 7:04pm
Patriots RB Rex Burkhead is back at practice.
Reports last week said Burkhead had a tear in his knee but it looks like he's going to be able to play through the injury. Burkhead is our No. 20 ranked RB in PPR leagues. His ADP is two-to-three rounds after guys like Joe Mixon and Lamar Miller, who are ranked close to Burkhead, so he's a potentially great value in drafts.
Saints Beat: Team seems to be giving RB Mark Ingram heavy workloadSunday, August 19, 2018, 4:37pm
Ingram will serve a four-game suspension to start the season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. From watching training camp and the first two preseason games, it seems the Saints are preparing Ingram just as they would if he were available for the start of the season.
Ingram had seven carries in each of the first two preseason games, a stark contrast to 2017 when he had four total in the entire preseason with all coming in the third exhibition.
Related players: Alvin Kamara, Terrance West, Jonathan Williams, Shane Vereen
While Kamara should get a heavy workload with Ingram out, the story said HC Sean Payton always likes to use multiple backs, so chances are someone else could emerge and have fantasy value while Ingram is suspended.
Bills QB A.J. McCarron to get second opinion on shoulderSunday, August 19, 2018, 4:29pm
Buffalo Bills quarterback AJ McCarron is getting a second opinion to determine the severity of an injury to his throwing shoulder.
Related players: Josh Allen, Nathan Peterman
HC Sean McDermott said he could not provide an update on McCarron because tests on his right shoulder were not "totally conclusive." Other reports say it was a broken collarbone. The injury opens the door for Allen to perhaps win the starting job.
Redskins to host RB Adrian Peterson MondaySunday, August 19, 2018, 4:24pm
The Redskins are hosting veteran RB Adrian Peterson, sources tell me and Mike Garafolo. The Pro Bowler is an intriguing option for Washington.
Related players: Rob Kelley, Samaje Perine, Byron Marshall, Jamaal Charles, Orleans Darkwa
The Skins hosted Jamaal Charles and Orleans Darkwa on Sunday and are looking to add running backs with all the injuries they are suffering, including to Perine and Marshall, who are dealing with ankle issues.
Eagles QBs Carson Wentz, Nick Foles to split first-team repsSunday, August 19, 2018, 4:21pm
Though Carson Wentz has not yet been cleared for full contact, he'll "jump back into some team drills" Sunday, according to HC Doug Pederson. In doing so, he'll split first-team reps with Nick Foles, who will practice despite suffering a shoulder strain Thursday. Wentz recently acknowledged that his Week 1 availability will be a close call, but the franchise signal-caller continues to progress well and his status for the Eagles' opener ultimately figures to be determined by the team's medical staff.
It's looking like both QBs will be good to go for Week 1 at this point, and if that's the case, Wentz will get the nod. Wentz isn't expected to play in the preseason. Foles' preseason shoulder injury obviously wasn't all that serious
Jets Beat: QB Sam Darnold 'trending toward' starting Week 1Sunday, August 19, 2018, 4:15pm
Jets QB Sam Darnold got the bulk of the reps. Again. He's trending toward Week 1 starting job.
Related players: Teddy Bridgewater, Josh McCown
Cimini said it seems obvious Darnold will start this week's preseason game based on all of his reps. He thinks the only way things change is if Darnold regresses against the Giants.
Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas dealing with wrist injurySunday, August 19, 2018, 4:11pm
NFL teams have no obligation to disclose injury information during the preseason. The Broncos opted to do so on Saturday night, in connection with the fact that veteran receiver Demaryius Thomas did not play.
"He's got a sore wrist," coach Vance Joseph told reporters after the game. "It happened in practice I think on Thursday and he couldn't go tonight."
Related players: Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton, Carlos Henderson
The story went on to speculate Thomas could end up being the subject of trade talks, mostly because the team has a group of very young receivers in Sutton, Hamilton and Henderson they seem to feel pretty good about. The injury doesn't appear to be serious.
Jackson: 'There's a chance' Browns WR Josh Gordon ready for Week 1Sunday, August 19, 2018, 10:10am
The Browns are hoping Josh Gordon will be ready to roll when the Steelers come to town for the opener Sept. 9.
"There's a chance,'' coach Hue Jackson said on a conference call Saturday. "Obviously, we're just going to take it one step at a time. His focus is going to be on meetings and conditioning, and then we'll just kind of go from there. Hopefully, we can get him up and running by the first game."
The story said Gordon returned to the Browns on Saturday from a treatment program at the University of Florida. He was subsequently placed on the active/non-football injury list. It means he can start practicing as soon as his medical team gives him the green light. In the meantime, he can attend meetings and conditioning sessions. The story went on to say an NFL spokesman said there is no timetable for the next steps.
Bears TE Adam Shaheen has low ankle sprainSunday, August 19, 2018, 10:00am
It looked nasty, but the ankle injury for Bears TE Adam Shaheen wasn't nearly as bad as it appeared. Source said Shaheen suffered a low-ankle sprain based on initial tests.
Related players: Trey Burton, Dion Sims
Shaheen had to be carted off but seems fortunate it's not a more serious injury. Rapoport added more tests are coming, but if everything holds, he wouldn't be ruled out to play Week 1.
Browns WR Josh Gordon announces his returnSaturday, August 18, 2018, 3:25pm
Josh Gordon issued a statement on Twitter, saying in part:
"As I humbly return to being a member of this team with an opportunity to get back to playing this game I love, I realize in order for me to reach my full potential my primary focus must remain on my sobriety and mental well-being. Let's get to work!"
UPDATE via Tom Pelissero: "Since #Brown WR Josh Gordon is still in jointly negotiated substance abuse program, he's subject to certain conditions. Per @NFLprguy: "This part of the process. Can attend meetings, do conditioning. Can go to practice but not participate. No timetable on next step."
Related players: Jarvis Landry, Tyrod Taylor
Josh Gordon has faced a long road to get back. He played five games last season but then was not present to this point for the start of Browns camp and the preseason. In his return last season after about three years away from the NFL, Gordon played the final five weeks of the regular season. He averaged 11.5 PPR points per game, WR26 over that span (Week 13-17) on a per game basis. Jarvis Landry will eat into his target share undoubtedly, and Gordon's ADP remains in the fourth-to-fifth-round range. You're paying for closer to his ceiling at that price with a low floor.
Bills QB A.J. McCarron has hairline fracture of collarboneSaturday, August 18, 2018, 12:30pm
Bills QB AJ McCarron suffered a hairline fracture of the collarbone in the first quarter of Friday's preseason game versus the Browns, The Buffalo News has learned.
First-round pick Josh Allen and Nathan Peterman will now compete to start at quarterback in Buffalo in what appears to be an underwhelming passing attack for fantasy purposes.
Patriots rookie OL Isaiah Wynn out for seasonFriday, August 17, 2018, 12:35pm
Patriots rookie offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn tore his Achilles on Thursday against the Eagles and will miss the 2018 season.
This is a big blow to a Patriots offensive line that also lost Nate Solder in free agency. With Tom Brady entering his age 41 season, protecting him will be more important than ever. A slow start to 2018 is possible for New England's offense with so many moving pieces both up front and at the skill positions.
Patriots RB Rex Burkhead dealing with a 'slight tear' in kneeFriday, August 17, 2018, 12:31pm
Jeff Howe reports that running back Rex Burkhead is dealing with a "slight tear" in his knee. The injury was described as minor and Howe stated Burkhead likely would have played in the team's second preseason game against the Eagles had it been a regular season game.
This is not a huge red flag right now, but serves as a reminder of Burkhead's knee issues from last season. With Sony Michel dealing with some knee issues of his own, we could see a higher early-season workload for James White. One of Mike Gillislee or Jeremy Hill could also be in the mix on early downs.
49ers RB Jerick McKinnon out until Week 1Friday, August 17, 2018, 12:28pm
49ers general manager John Lynch said that Jerick McKinnon will be out until Week 1 against the Vikings.
McKinnon suffered a calf injury last weekend, and while it is not considered to be serious, the 49ers are taking no chances with their free-agent acquisition at running back. McKinnon is likely fine, but will be setting career-highs in touches this season. This may not be the last time we see him pop up on the injury report.
Packers RB Jamaal Williams injures ankleThursday, August 16, 2018, 9:43pm
Packers running back Jamaal Williams left Green Bay's second preseason game with an ankle injury.
The severity of the injury is unknown, but with Aaron Jones already suspended for the first two games of the season, the Packers could find themselves thin at running back to open the year if this is serious. Ty Montgomery figures to handle most of the workload if both Williams and Jones are out.

One morning not too long ago, I was spending some time with the Lord when I was suddenly staring at a lake. A gentle breeze worked through grass and reeds at the waters edge and the moonlight reflected off of the still surface. I sensed movement off to my left and when I turned Jesus was there smiling at me. A tilt of his chin led me to focus on the water as he skipped stones across the surface.
Ripples and little splashes spread out from everywhere the stones met the water. Even though it was night I could see that the water from the lake was crystal clear. There were no muddied sections. There was no death. It was alive and beautiful. There were no worries or concerns. It was just peace.
Jesus paused from his rock skipping to let me know that the lake I was looking at was actually the well of my heart. He told me that the water is pristine, clear, and without any hint of death or cloudiness when he is the source of what feeds it. But when I allow other things to feed my heart, everything gets a little muddy.
I'm actually looking out at a small lake right now that borders my fire station. Trees, wildlife, moon, and stars; the scene is very peaceful and beautiful right now from what I can see on the exterior. But what's going on underneath the surface?
There are many feeders fighting for the right to supply our hearts. Each one has its own narrative that explains how it will help us achieve the things we want in life. They all promise to lift us out of whatever state of hopelessness or despair we happen to be in. Or they say they'll add life to the things we've already gathered around us.
But anything we connect with for the purpose of gaining value, worth, significance, and love, that's not Jesus, will eventually bring mud, decay, and death into the wells of our hearts. It may take some time for it to spread enough for us to feel the effects, but it will lead to a place of destruction that promises to be worse than where we started.
I feel like it's important for you to know that you are pure, holy, special, valuable, deeply loved, adored, talented, mighty, and alive. And this is true no matter what the current state of your heart is. These are the things you are at your core and these are the things God wants to bring out and help you understand. But you must begin to shut off the feeders of the world. Jesus is the only source. He is the only one who can fill you with the kind of love and acceptance that you were created for.
I just see right now that dams are being built in many of your hearts that are cutting off the inlets of the world and I just call that into existence in the mighty name of Jesus! The things that you used to run to for worth and value will be exposed for the death that they are and you will now turn to Jesus and be connected to his heart in new ways. The river of his love will fill the well of your heart to overflowing and the source will never dry up.
You don't need the things that defile – you need the one who purifies! Abundant life awaits!
Jesse and Kara
Judges Review from the 23 Annual Writers Digest Self Published Book Competition
Life Resurrected, Extraordinary Miracles Through Ordinary People
Birkey writes in a smooth and flowing style that is extremely easy to read. He is a good storyteller and pulls in his reader with anecdotes that often start off in fire station number 12, from whence he and his comrades are dispatched to normal emergencies that involve life and death.
Birkey demonstrates how his immense faith in God pulls him through situations that firemen and life savers have to face every day. He proves that miracles do happen. He does a wonderful job of portraying his resilience and faith in God. This author uses a great deal of reflection and reference to Scripture, which lends credibility to his testimonies.
Some of his reflections and topics are deeply emotional and will resonate with readers, like "The Problem of Self Forgiveness" (77). His message seems to aim at a specifically Christian audience although I expect readers of other faiths may gain respect and understanding of the motivations that help Christians find peace and compassion for humanity.
I think his inclusion of other Christian testimonies in chapter 7 adds interest. Chapter 8, discussing infidelity and how to truly learn to forgive, is deeply interesting. Everything he says about bitterness is true, and I cannot imagine anyone reading this without feeling admiration for both Birkey's wisdom and his insistence to reach out and help his audience overcome a widespread problem.

Liposculpture | Lipoplasty abroad | After lipoplasty | Celebrity lipo | Chin lipo | Questions to ask | Complications | Before and after | Laser lipoplasty | Recovery time | Prices | NHS treatment | Operation pain | Tumescent lipo | Results | Vaser liposculpture | Risks
When you're considering a major cosmetic treatment such as liposculpture, it's important to do as much research as you can. You need to fully understand the nature of the procedure, and the abilities of the surgeon who is going to carry it out.
Don't be afraid to ask questions during your initial consultation. To an extent, you are putting your life into the hands of a complete stranger. To do so with your eyes closed would be foolish.
A selection of the main questions to ask your lipo surgeon are as follows:
1. How long have you been a fully trained plastic surgeon?
2. How many years have you been carrying out liposuction treatment?
3. How many liposculpture procedures have you carried out?
4. Have you had many patients who have not been satisfied with the results?
5. Do you have before and after pictures of your liposuction patients?
6. Do you have testimonials from your previous lipoplasty patients?
7. Are you a member of BAAPS, or The British Association of Cosmetic Surgeons?
8. What after care do you provide, and how much of this included in the listed price?
It your surgeon is evasive or less than enthusiastic ablaut answering about your questions, it may be wise to move onto a different clinic. It's essential to have trust and faith in the man who is going to operate on you.
Common Cosmetic Questions
Which are the most recommended cosmetic clinics in the UK?

But... we explained that wouldn't have it any other way. Yes, my kids can be tiring. Exhausting. And I'm afraid it shows sometimes. But these guys...when it gets down to it...are so pleasing and wonderful. I've been a bit snappy as of late and am really asking God to help my perspective, my mood and my patience. All of the changes have worn me a bit thin.
But I love being a mom.
I am making a point - starting tomorrow, to slow down, take some time, find the things (and there are many) that I enjoy about each one of my children and about being a mama. Focusing on the good and not the hard. Put my phone down. Look in their eyes when they speak to me and when I answer back. Make more points to touch them when they're near me. Give more treats just because - no because they earned it. Reward more. Punish less. Talk and explain more...less quick and easy answers.
But, when it gets too much. Find my quiet place. Recharge. Breathe. Walk. Sip tea. Read.
More Enjoying, Less Complaining.
Oh how I love my babies. Someday, they'll be gone from my everyday life. I need this time to be close, as do they.
I needed to remember this today. Thank God for my little sweet Aidan-boy.

Breathing Venetian Air – Venice Travel Diary
I loved being in Venice, walking its narrow streets, riding on its canals, just breathing the Venetian air in general. It's a very small city that literally floats on water. That was such a fun aspect of being there. No cars, no buses, just boats and your two feet to get you from place to place. Upon arrival my mother and I got very lost. It's so small but there are many twists and turns on its street. It took us 45 minutes to find our hotel and we were about 10 minutes away from it the whole time. The fact that we arrived during the night didn't help. There were many American businesses there which I liked. There was an H&M and a Hard Rock Cafe walking distance from our hotel. I'm a very picky eater so I ate there a lot. I did try one of the restaurants that our gondola rower suggested to us and I did enjoy it. Pasta originated in Italy so I wasn't surprised that it was delicious. On one menu there were multiple fish options and no chicken. I guess since this is a water town that makes sense.
San Marco's plaza was packed with people of all kinds. You could tell we weren't the only visitors. Actually, I think most of the people there were tourist. I found a Mac and the makeup artist told me it's impossible to live in Venice and most people commute there from nearby towns. I found that to be interesting. The architecture is phenomenal. I felt like I had stepped back into time and I loved that feeling. Many people spoke some English so that was helpful in getting around. There were multiple signs for major attractions that we followed for directions as well. At the train station there was a woman who spoke no English at all but she was very effective in helping me find my train. I did minimal shopping there. It was the beginning of my trip so I didn't want to blow large amounts of money. There were many shops with affordable clothing. We found one shop in which everything costed 10 euro. My mother and I had trouble figuring out the correct shoe sizes to choose because European sizes are different. We came to the conclusion that I can wear a 38 or 39.
We stayed at the Palace Bonvecciati (which I never failed to mispronounce when asking for directions.) The hotel was modern, clean and comfortable. From the outside it looked like the rest of the buildings, from the inside it was similar to an upscale American hotel. They had breakfast everyday and there were many things to choose from. America serves so much Italian and French style foods that I was very comfortable with the options. Having a hotel that served breakfast was very helpful because the food is expensive there. The Hard Rock Cafe burgers were 16.95 euro which is equivalent to about 20 dollars. But I expect a tourist designated area to have heightened prices. Venice was as lovely as the pictures make it out to be and I hope to visit again next year.

If anyone thought Democratic Congressman John Boccieri's vote against the health reform bill Saturday night would give him cover from the GOP, they might want a second opinion.
So does that mean everything is copacetic between Boccieri and the GOP since he voted no on the health bill? Will they take him off their endangered species list?
"Boccieri left his constituents behind a long time ago — when he supported the trillion dollar stimulus bill and the national energy tax, which will cost Ohioans jobs and nearly $2,000 in new taxes," Mazzola told The Plain Dealer.
Where did we hear that before today? Hmmm…. I'm stumped.
Meanwhile, the Plain Dealer also reported that Boccieri is getting an eyeful (earful?) from his Facebook friends.
So it ends with stating that Boccieri might still vote for health care reform "if the Senate fixes the bill to his liking." Being the only moderate holdout (why Kucinich continues to get much of a pass just pisses me off), means that if the Senate gives him a "do over" he's going to vote yes.

Station 4 then hosted a catered barbecue lunch at our Station for the other Monroeville Fire Stations prior to the Fireworks detail that was moved to Monroeville Park West this year. Station 4 handled the detail inside the park with the assistance of Stations 1, 3, 5, and 6 outside the park in designated remote viewing areas. The show went without a hitch and we look forward to next years bigger and better show.

"Hours of enjoyable, fun listening"
I am the kind of person who likes to read literary, "paper" books (classics, Russian lit, lit criticism) and listen to more popular, "fun" audiobooks (mysteries, historical fiction). I love to listen to a long audiobook (Wilkie Collins, Ken Follet) while driving or cleaning. One of my favorite audiobooks is "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, and "The Forgotten Garden" is almost as good. I agree with other reviewers that it's a bit predictable, but even so, it's a sweeping, engrossing, and fun book to listen to. If you loved "The Thirteenth Tale," you will probably love "The Forgotten Garden," and so for that reason, I give it 5 stars.
"Enchanting, intriguing, mysterious, and beautiful"
Honestly, I bought this by accident, adding it to my cart when I tried to click on the title, then checking out without noticing it. Best literary mistake I've ever made.
This is an enchanting story that takes place over three, even four, eras. At first it seems a little distracting, as each time you get drawn in to one story you shift to another, but soon you are caught in all three tales, for different reasons, and can't wait to get back to each to find a conclusion.
The tales themselves intertwine to tell one story, one novel, each being intriguing in their own right. With elements of historical, mystery, romance, generational, and personal journey genres, this story is as complex as it is developed. Each scene is well crafted, and the entire novel flows into one whole, rather than seeming episodic, as these types sometimes do.
The good characters are charming, the bad characters disturbingly villainous, each story is intriguing, the settings and historical research creep up on you to create a setting you feel a part of. You'll find yourself looking beyond the boundaries of the story, even, feeling you can see the world beyond what the author created. By the end, the story manages to be emotionally fulfilling while longingly agonizing.
And the narrator is exceptional, as well. Nice accents, accurate individual voices for each character, and a skilled narrative tone throughout. Definitely adds to the experience.
This is one of my favorites, even if I bought it by accident.
"Six stars if I could"
I rate a book probably more for how it is written than for any of its other facets. I enjoy an interesting plot. I hope for well-developed characters and surprise endings. This book has it all and much, much more. On the surface, these are three stories beautifully woven into one. But there is much more. It is a story about the writing of a book of faerie tales that is a faerie tale itself. It is challenging to critique this book without giving away too much. I will just leave it to the lucky readers to discover the many wonderful aspects of this book for themselves. In short, of the last fifty books or so that I have read this year, this is one of the two very best hands down.
"Another Winner from Kate Morton"
If you have not read The Shifting Fog (The House at
Riverton) or this new one then you have two TREATS
in store. Kate Morton is a story teller extraordinaire and Caroline Lee adds the magic with
her superb narration. Dark family secrets,evil behavior,enthralling characters some of whom are damaged beyond repair are all uncovered as Nell struggles to find who she really is. If you like
storytelling as it used to be this one is for you!
"Crockpot Mystery--Not For Microwave Readers"
My first attempt at listening to this book failed because I was wanting a quick-paced, twist and turn "microwaved" mystery. It is not for those wanting instant gratification. If that is you, I would suggest not buying the book. However, on my second attempt, the book became just want I wanted. It is a slow, layered mystery that takes time to simmer and cook. I liked the different points of view and time periods because it added depth of understanding. I couldn't stop listening because I wanted to know the "why" as much as the characters themselves. It is a "darker" narrative, so if you want sunshine and roses, this book is not for you. If you are patient and willing to wait for characters to develop and grow and a mystery to be unraveled, then you should enjoy this book. I really found it refreshing and engaging. The narrator is top-notch as well.
"Comfort food for my ears"
This book is like a bowl of wonderful homemade vegetable soup on a cold winter day. A little predictable but warms you from head to toe!
The narration was excellent and easy on the ears. I enjoyed the musical notes between chapters.
The shift between periods and locations was handled nicely. There is enough subtle orientation so that you easily remember what was happening when you were last in this time and place.
"A pleasant suprise"
I purchased this because it was on sale for $4 and had good reviews, I am glad I happened across it. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. The story was a pleasure to listen to. I don't always go for mystery novels, but this one had me guessing from the beginning.
The best part of the story for me was the framing of original fairy tales through out the novel. They were all a pleasure to read and added just enough fantasy into the mix.
If you are on the fence about this one, it is well worth your credit.
"Thoroughly engaging tale"
It was hard to stop listening to this engaging tale of five generations of the Montrachet family, who have been separated by jealousy and anger. Told by beautiful Eliza, Nell and her grandaughter Cassandra, it's the unveiling of the mystery of how four year old Nell ends up alone on a ship from England to Australia, there to be brought up by strangers. Nell begins a new life in Australia but leaves her grandaughter, Cassandra, to piece back together the fascinating story of Nell's childhood and where they came from. An enchanting story well told.
"Beautifully Performed Masterpiece!"
I was skeptcial when I purchased this book. It's a classic, which is definitely not my favorite genre, and it's also very long. My fears ended with the first scene as I was transported to another time and place, when the story immediately grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. I became so wrapped up in the characters and mysteries that I didn't want to stop listening. The truth which is revealed at the end is very emotional -- shocking, gut-wrenching, sad, heartwarming and beautiful.
I cannot say enough about the narrator, Carolyn Lee. Her voices and accents were perfect for the story, and her performace was emotional and flawless. I cannot say enough about The Forgotten Garden. It's wonderful.
"excellent book"
I absolutely loved this book. I was spellbound by the characters, and loved the narrator's voice as she switched from person to person. This book jumps around quite a bit in time, which I was afraid would be confusing, but it clearly tells you which time period you are entering and you get so wrapped up in the characters lives that you wait impatiently for your "favorite" to cycle back. :) I would definitely recommend this to those who like great fiction.

EFGAMP, the European Federation of Game Archives, Museums and Preservation Project, is partner with European Culture Forum for the organization of the Game Jam. VIGAMUS Foundation, who is among the EFGAMP Founding members, will manage the 36 hours game development competition. This is the first time a Game Jam is held within the context of European Culture Forum. The teams attending the Game Jam will represent different Countries from all over Europe: such as Italy, United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Finland, Poland.
The European Culture Forum is a biennial flagship event organised by the European Commission to raise the profile of European cultural cooperation, to bring together cultural sectors' key players and to debate on EU culture policy and initiatives. Its 2017 edition will also mark the official launch of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, the thematic EU year devoted to our common cultural assets and all their aspects.
The event, for the first time outside of Brussels, will take place at Superstudio in the booming creative neighbourhood of Tortona in Milan. This extraordinary event venue, once a bicycle factory and then a place for fashion publishing and art created by a renowned Italian art director Flavio Lucchini in the 1980s, will provide an inspiring and thought-provoking decorum for lively discussions, unexpected meetings and fruitful exchanges.
Can culture help to tackle European and global challenges? Does cultural heritage matter to Europeans? How can culture in cities and regions help to shape more cohesive and inclusive societies? These are some of the questions that will be discussed inside Milan's forum.

Rapper CL Smooth On Muslims And knowledgeTuesday, September 19, 2006Brother Mustafaa
(CL Smooth was the vocal half of the influential hip-hop duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth in the early 90's)
Playahata.com: Was there any historical leaders or books that helped you through the ups & downs of the industry & dealing with being an internationally known artist or just being CL?
C.L. Smooth: I'm a book reader & I have a little brother that has master degree so he's just a book collector. I would say 'Message to the Black Man', 'The Spook who sat by the door' or on to even biographies like Sammy ("the bull") Gravano's book. I like little stuff & little versatile stuff. The Donald Goines books. It's just a vibe & I like to be versatile. As far as leaders it would be Khalid Muhammad (rip). I'm saying that because I've talked to them for hours. These are the people that, I'm not a Muslim, but you couldn't tell the difference because my conversation is still the same as a Muslim, a peaceful being. I'm gravitated more towards knowledge, people with some wisdom, people with some depth. I had an old soul back when I was a teenager so I felt that anything that they gave me right or wrong I was able to apply pieces of it. Filter out the things that I didn't want & apply it to my life.

The project estuaire central is concerned with developing a new perspective on the section of the St-Lawrence estuary that is usually called estuaire moyen (middle estuary). The latter expression suggests that this space is nothing but a transitory region lying in between, connecting the fluvial with the maritime estuary. However, it is in this section of the estuary that a whole series of unique phenomena occur.
For example, it is in the middle estuary that the tides are maximal; more than 1000 km from the open ocean, the difference in water levels from high to low tides is up to 6 metres. Moreover, it is here that the transition from fresh water to sea water is observed. The concentration of salt increases by a factor of ten over a distance of only 100 km. The fluctuating tides, and the mixture of warm fresh waters and cold salty waters cause strong and vicious currents that have to be considered when navigating in the middle estuary. Furthermore, this section of the estuary is home to the so-called silt plug (bouchon vaseux), a unique phenomena that creates an ideal habitat for rare species such as the black sturgeon.
Rona Rangsch will present and, using artistic analysis and interpretation, comment on these phenomena with the aid of photography, video and vector animation. In order to refer to the particularity of the place, her aim is to motivate the establishment of the term estuaire central as a replacement for the term estuaire moyen.
Rona Rangsch studied physics at the Universities of Cologne and Saarbruecken where she graduated in 1996. In 1999, after scientific research activities at several renowned institutions, she made physics her hobby and began a carreer as a media artist. Her artistic concepts stem from unusual associations detected by her unprejudiced senses. Not unlike scientific methodology, the elaboration of her projects follows guidelines but leaves room for playful elements. The interpretation of geophysical, climatic, and social particularities is at the core of her current works, making travelling a crucial element in her life as an artist. She was awarded several international residency grants, among others in Canada, Austria and Japan. Besides exhibiting her own work in Germany and abroad, Rona Rangsch organizes conceptual group shows in the exhibition program of the Kuenstlerhaus Dortmund where she has been a member since 2003.Special projects

Click on the top title and scroll Recently an old classmate wrote to say I was "aging gracefully." From the context of her note I know she meant it as a compliment, but I still hate that expression. I don't understand it. I tried looking it up and it seems others are also as ambivalent and confused as I am about the idea of "aging gracefully."
How does one age gracefully? Is it like losing gracefully or even winning gracefully? We all know what those expressions mean. Am I being self-effacing in the face of aging by doing so "gracefully?"
Perhaps I sound nitpicky to question the compliment, but in this ageist world I don't need to be told I am aging well, gracefully, or that I look good for my age. I am not in denial about my age; I simply prefer not to be defined by it.
Darlings, remember age, like most things, is relative. A 20-year-old seems ancient to four-year-old, and many 70-year-olds feel like teenagers.
Have a sweet week. Take time to call an old friend and spend time with a new one. Make time for the things you enjoy and the people you love because, my darlings, that is truly where the sweet life lies.
